He said the Commission took the decision at its 17th Plenary Meeting which ended in Abuja on Friday 11th November 2022 and was presided over by its acting Chairman, Justice Clara Bata Ogunbiyi, JSC (rtd).

“The Commission also approved the conversion of 301 ICT professionals to General Duty. It had earlier approved the Special Promotion of CSP Daniel Amah to the next rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police for his exemplary conduct in rejecting a bribe of $200,000,00 (Dollars) in the course of his duty as the Divisional Police Officer in Bompai Kano State. CSP Amah was also presented with the Honesty and Integrity Service Award and a cash gift of one Million Naira,” the statement reads partly.
